Hi,

could anyone help me out on how I  have to record the "occupancy tax" for my hotel bill? I am the first time had a business trip and now have to enter my hotel bill. I got charged:

Room Charge                 166.47

GST                                    8.74

PST                                   11.65

Occupancy Tax                   8.32

Total:                             $195.18

Thank you

Hi putuschtel,

Making sure you're recording your transactions properly is an essential step for maintaining clean books. To ensure accuracy in your books, I recommend reaching out to an accounting professional for expert advice on this.

Thanks. Yes, I contacted an accountant. The problem is solved. I should add the Occupancy Tax to the cost of the room, no need for a different account. That means I will post it to Travel Expense but will add a second line of the transaction because no PST is charged on that amount.

Just would like to share the solution in case other community users will have the same question.

Have a great day everyone!
